Self-help
Sharon emailed me today to recommend Emotionally Engaged by Allison Moir-Smith. She said someone mentioned it on The Knot and it’s been helping her to understand some of her freak outs. Or, as she put it, how to deal with the fact that “microwave popcorn won’t be an acceptable dinner once you are married.”
It’s funny she should recommend this, because I picked up The Conscious Bride by Sheryl Paul for the exact same reason! We emailed back and forth about the two books for a bit. I think they’re pretty much saying the same thing — engagement might be fun, but it’s a lot of hard work, too — but we’ve decided to swap in a few weeks.
I’m about two-thirds of the way through mine, and I’ll post a complete book report when I’m done.
